Seattle, which opened the year with home victories over New York
and Real Salt Lake, had expected a tougher test in its first
road game. Toronto, however, did little to impress the sellout
crowd of 20,658 that braved cold, windy conditions to attend the
team's home opener.

It was the first loss for Toronto (1-1-1), which beat Kansas
City two weeks ago before tying Columbus last Saturday.

Toronto coach John Carver called his team's performance "a
disgrace."

"Every single one of (the players) I was disappointed in,"
Carver said. "I'm making no excuses, I'm not going to defend
anybody today."

Seattle played without leading scorer Fredy Montero, who did not
travel to Toronto because of what the team said was flu-like
symptoms. However, the King County prosecutor's office in
Seattle confirmed Friday that it is reviewing a woman's report
that Montero raped her twice last month.

Ljungberg, a Swedish star who missed the start of the season
following hip surgery in December, made his MLS debut in last
Saturday's win over Real Salt Lake, coming on as a second-half
substitute and playing nearly 30 minutes.

He played 78 minutes in this one, leaving shortly after falling
heavily inside the Toronto penalty area while jockeying with TFC
defender Adrian Serioux.

Ljungberg opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a clever
give-and-go move with forward Nate Jaqua, racing past Serioux
and into the penalty box to collect the return pass and fire it
beyond goalkeeper Greg Sutton.

"We tried to get me in between the midfield and the striker
position so I could turn and use my pace in the passing,"
Ljungberg said. "I had a one-two with Nate and tried to finish
on the first touch because I thought the goalie would be coming
out and maybe wouldn't be able to react."

Zakuani doubled Seattle's lead just before halftime. Ljungberg's
cross from the right side was played to Jaqua, whose shot was
blocked by Toronto defender Marvell Wynne. The loose ball fell
to Zakuani, who blasted his second goal of the season.

Keller, last week's MLS player of the week, faced only three
shots on goal.

"I can't do it without guys willing to put their bodies on the
line for 90 minutes and that's exactly what everybody is doing,"
Keller said. "Guys are really working extremely hard to make
sure that we don't concede goals and, if we continue with that
attitude, we have a very good chance of having a very good
season."

Sounders minority owner Drew Carey attended the game, leaning
out of his box to wave a team scarf after each goal.
